Project description:Proteomic investigations of spermatozoa provide practical tools for distinguishing normal, functional spermatozoa from abnormal spermatozoa. Indeed, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) applies high-throughput industrial applications to identify sperm-specific proteins indicative of chemical exposure. As such, a direct comparison of protein expression profiles between control and exposed cells returned a set of protein markers. Because mature mammalian spermatozoa are virtually incapable of protein synthesis, the predicted protein biomarkers in spermatozoa offer considerable stability for use in clinical application. In the current study, we applied 2-DE coupled with ESI-MS/MS to investigate the modified protein profile in F1 capacitated spermatozoa due to gestational bisphenol-A (BPA) exposure to ascertain whether these proteomic modifications could explain the observed functional alterations in spermatozoa.

Project description:Aims of study: (1) To identify systemic differences in osteoarthritic (OA) bone that contribute to OA pathogenesis. (2) Identify novel osteoporotic (OP) bone-related disease genes. Study involved comparison of trabecular bone extracted from the intertrochanteric (IT) region of the proximal femur (PF) from OA, OP and normal/control (CTL) individuals. Bone was obtained from OA and OP individuals at surgery for total hip replacement and from CTL individuals at autopsy. Keywords: Bone tissue comparison, diseased versus non-diseased, factorial design, linear modelling Four sets of sample comparisons (39 comparisons in total) were made in this study. These comprised 10 OA-CTL female, 10 OA-CTL male, 10 OA-OP female and 9 OP-CTL female comparisons. A Compugen Human 19K-oligo library spotted onto glass slides by the Adelaide Microarray facility (AMF) was used in this study. The slides were interrogated by competitive hybridisation of Cy3 and Cy5 labelled pairs of OA-CTL, OA-OP or OP-CTL amplified RNA samples. Sample pairs were age-matched as closely as possible. A biological dye-swap strategy was employed. After hybridisation and washing of the slides they were scanned using a GenePix 4000B Scanner driven by GenePix Pro 4.0. All analyses were performed using the statistical programming and graphics environment R. The “SPOT” software package was used to identify spots by adaptive segmentation method and subtract backgrounds utilising morphological opening approach. Data analysis was performed in R using Bioconductor. Loess print tip method was used to correct for dye-bias and intensity within each group of adjacent spots printed by one pin. Linear modelling was performed with the Limma package of Bioconductor. Linear models were used to incorporate all available data into a single analysis. This allowed the use of both direct and indirect comparisons in calculation of expression ratios as well as improved accuracy in estimation of variance for each gene. Factorial design utilised the following factors: medical condition (OA or OP or CTL); sex (male or female) for OA patients only.

Project description:Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), a G protein-coupled receptor activated by trypsin and coagulant factors, plays broad spectrum of physiological and pathological roles especially in cancer development. In this study, we used PAR-2 activating peptide to mimic the action of trypsin to trigger PAR-2 signaling pathway and effects of PAR-2 activation on gene expression in human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 investigated by microarray analysis. Through DAVID bioinformatic resources, we observed that activated PAR-2-mediated genes are summarized to two different pathways, renal cell carcinoma and NFkB pathway. In renal cell carcinoma pathway, activated PAR-2 dysregulated hypoxia-inducible factors and its target genes, including glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A). In addition, activated PAR-2 induced MAPK signaling and transcriptional factors, such as JUN, MAP2K1 and ETS1. The regulation of these genes by PAR-2 assumed that PAR-2 signaling was associated with cancer progression. On the other hand, activated PAR-2 upregulated interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) related with NFkB activation, which indicated that PAR-2 signaling may cause cancer-related inflammation. In conclusion, PAR-2 may be a factor to regulate cancer progression and inflammation. Two-condition experiment, control cells vs PAR-2 AP-treated cells.

Project description:Although ERBB2 amplification and overexpression is correlated with poor outcome in breast cancer, the molecular mechanisms underlying the aggressive nature of these tumors has not been fully elucidated. To investigate this further, we have used a transgenic mouse model of ErbB2-driven tumor progression (ErbB2KI model) that recapitulates clinically relevant events, including selective amplification of the core erbB2 amplicon. By comparing the transcriptional profiles of ErbB2KI mammary tumors and human ERBB2-positive breast cancers, we demonstrate that ErbB2KI tumors possess molecular features of the basal subtype of ERBB2-positive human breast cancer, including activation of canonical β-catenin signaling. Inhibition of β-catenin-dependent signaling in ErbB2KI-derived tumor cells using RNA interference impaired tumor initiation and metastasis. Furthermore, treatment of ErbB2KI or human ERBB2-overexpressing tumor cells with a selective β-catenin/CBP inhibitor significantly decreased proliferation and ErbB2 expression. Collectively, our data indicate that ERBB2-mediated breast cancer progression requires β-catenin signaling and can be therapeutically targeted by selective β-catenin/CBP inhibitors. Common reference design. 9 samples (including 2 normal tissue, 2 NIC tumors, and 5 KI tumor tissue samples) replicated twice as dye swaps, generating a total of 18 arrays.

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are the progenitors of the Bone Marrow (BM) stroma and have been involved in the physiopathology of MDS. The presence of cytogenetic aberrations on MSC from MDS patients is controversial. The aim of the study is to characterize BM derived MSC from patients with MDS using: kinetic studies, immunophenotyping, fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis and genetic changes by array based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). 32 cases of untreated MDS were included in the study. MSC from MDS achieved confluence at a slower rate than donor-MSC, and the antigenic expression of CD105 and CD104 was also lower. Array-CGH studies showed DNA genomic changes that were proved not to be somatic, and gains were more frequent than looses. The results of array-CGH were confirmed by FISH. When an unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis was performed two clusters were identified: one of them included the 5q- syndrome patients, while the other incorporated the rest of the MDS patients. Our results shows, for the first time, that MSC from MDS display genomic aberrations, assessed by array-CGH and FISH, some of them specially linked to particular MDS subtypes. Keywords: Genomic comparison between mesenchymal cells 32 BM cells from âde novoâ MDS, corresponding to 29 patients, were included in the study. Male/female ratio was 14/15 and median age was 70 years (range 34-89). MDS diagnosis was established by peripheral blood counts and morphology, BM morphology and cytogenetic analyses and classified according to the WHO proposals. 12 Patientsâ characteristics are summarized in table 1. Three patients were included twice in the study: at the diagnosis of one RA (case 2) and two Unclassifiable MDS (cases 29,30), and at the progression into RAEB-2 (cases 16, 20 and 18). None of them had received treatment during this period of time, other than supportive therapy. Normal BM samples were obtained from 15 healthy donors, 8 males and 7 females, with a median age of 57 (range 37-88). Written informed consent was obtained from all patients and donors according to ethical guidelines of our institution. Genomic-wide analysis of DNA copy number changes of MSC from 13 cases was performed using array-CGH. Slides containing 3032 BACs were produced in âCentro de Investigación del Cáncerâ (Salamanca, Spain). The particular BAC and P-1 derived artificial chromosome set used to produce this array is distributed to academic institutions by the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridge, United Kingdom) and contains targets spaced at ï» 1 Mb density over full genome, a set of subtelomeric sequences for each chromosome arm, and a few hundred probes selected for their involvement in oncogenesis. The clone content is available in the âCytoviewâ windows of the Sanger Institute mapping database site, Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org/). According to this database, clones were ordered along the chromosomes. These clones were isolated from their bacterial cultures with the relevant antibiotics and the DNA was extracted with standard protocol Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridge, UK). 10 ng of DNA (BAC/PAC) was used as a template for three DOP-PC. 22;23 These products were ethanol precipitated and dissolved in distilled water. A minimum of three replicates per clone were printed by Microgrid II (Biorobotics) on each slide (Ultragaps Coated Slides, Corning) using the aqueous dimethylsulfoxide buffer as spotting solution. Briefly, for labelling reactions, 1 μg of nonamplified genomic DNA, test and reference were digested separately with DpnII restriction enzyme (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA). For microarray hybridization, the digested DNAs were separately labelled using random primers (Bioprimer labelling kit, Invitrogen) and cyanine dye-3-dCTP and cyanine dye-5-dCTP fluorescent dye to paired hybridisation samples (Amersham Biosciences). The incorporated of the label nucleotide was quantified using the Nanodrop spectrophotometer. Labelled test and reference DNAs were mixed equitably, co-precipitated in presence of Cot-1 human DNA (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) with ethanol, washed, and resuspended in hybridization solution (50% Formamide, 10% Dextran sulfate, 2X standard saline citrate, 10 mM Tris pH 7.6, 2.7% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 10 μg/ μl of yeast tRNA). DNA mixtures were hybridized to the arrays in the TECAN HS4800 Pro according to the manufacturerâs recommended protocol. Images and signal intensities were acquired using GenePix4000B (Axon Instruments, Burlingame, CA) dual laser scanner in combination with GenePixPro4.0 (Axon Instruments) imaging software. Image and Data analysis. Spot intensities measured by the GenePix Pro 4.1 software (Axon Instruments, Wetsbur BV, Leuden, The Netherland). Pixel intensities for each feature were integrated and median values were determined, and the local background was calculated. For each spot the intensities were corrected by subtracting the local background for both wavelengths, and only spots with signal intensities al least threefold above background signal intensities were included in the analysis. The median of the ratios of all spots was calculated and used to normalize all data points. From each feature, the log2 value of the average of the normalization ratios of the spots was calculated and used to display the data. In addition, fluorescence ratios were normalized for each microarray using the print-tip loess method and the background subtraction with the Diagnosis and Normalization Arrays Data tool. 24 The cut-off level was determined for each individual experiment after avering the ratios from the two color-swith hybridizations and subsequent for normalization, and calculate the mean and Standard derivations to define the cut-off level as means plus/minus two times the standard derivations. The clones that showed possible changes were submitted to the Database of Genomics Variants (http://projects.tcag.ca/variation/) and chromosomal Imbalances and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources (DECIPCHER: http: www sanger. ac.uk /PostGenomics/decipher/. Clustering Unsupervised clustering We converted the relative ratio value for each BAC clones in each sample to score of 1 (gain/amplified), 0 (no change), or -1 (loss) based on the 2 SD standards described above and analyzed with Cluster and TreeView) 25 (Cluster and TreeView software) based on the average linkage method with the centered correlation metric was used (or Pearson Uncentered). Supervised Sam analysis was used http://www-stat.stanford.edu/ tibs/SAM) 26 to identify BACs that segregate subgroups on MSC. BACs with an SD of zero across the data set before analysis were removed.
